loud. The trousers are of course
large, even larger than those put into
the full dress suit; the coat may be
either single breasted or double, but
it is not eut-away, it closes square
at the bottom. The collar is rather
high and decided; side pockets are
used. The sleeves are made up free,
without any imitation of cuffs. 1t need
not be said that the man who wears
this suit must carry cane.
The new white hats have already
been mentioned They are made of
felt, and two representative shapes are
here shown. The effect is indebted to
the simplicity of the trimming, which
only consists of black velvet lining and
a graceful tuft of feathers. For those
who think the felt too conspicuous
there is new shade, between gray and
pink, something like milky tea, in
which one drop of red has been mixed.
The Pierrot shape prevails in this new
gray. The hat is bound with braid the
same color, darker shade goes round

Phil ARMOUR is one of the hardest
working rich men in the country. He
is almost the first at his Office in the
morning, and works almost increasingly
until evening, and recreation from his
daily duties is thing unknown to him.
His son Allison is veritable chip OF
the old block. He inherits the energy,
push, and activity which have given
his father the great business success he
has attained, and is credited with being
in commercial matters as shrewd at
bargain as the head of the family.
When he was 81 years of age his father
gave him the neat little sum Of 81 ,OOO,-
900 in cash and an interest in the bust
ness of Armour & Co., and short time
after sent him to New York in charge
of the Eastern interests of the firm. He
is not by any means an unworldly char
acter, for he knows how to be one OF
the boys occasionally, and is exceed
ingly popular among the wide-awake
men who make up the best portion OF
New York society.

as dress coat; now the lines of the
waist are absolutely departed from.
The box-coat is single-breasted and has
a narrow lapel with a silk binding show
ing at the collar. The novel feature
i. in it this month, which marks it from
any other box-coat yet produced, is in
the blazing of the collar with velvet
which extends around the throat and
ends at the silk lining of the seam; this
gives it its peculiar appearance, and it
must be said that at the throat it is
very dressy. 1t has a pocket on each
side, without flaps, and over that por-
ton of the anatomy where the actor
usually puts his hand when he makes q
declaration of love, there is another
pocket cut diagonally to the lines of
the box. The sleeves may be made up
either in imitation of cuffs with one
button, or may be made free.

SAN Francisco is soon to have its
Statue of Liberty. 1t is not of such
grand proportions as the Bartholdi
statue on Liberty Island, but it is to
shed it's light from height Of 740 feet.
1t is to stand on Mount Olympus,
which is about 700 feet above the water,
the statue itself, including the pedestal,
being about forty feet in height. A
two-inch gas pipe passes up the entire
height of the pedestal at the center to
the base of the figure, and through it
the electric wires will be passed, max
ing their exit at one side of the figure,
passing thence along the folds of the
robe up to the arm holding the torch.
The light. which it is expected will be
supplied by the city, will be 10000
candle power, and will illuminate the
entire Golden Gate Park, as well as
being visible from the bay, splendid
view of which is commanded from the
summit of the mount. 1t is the work
of Belgian artist named Wiertz. He
named it LA Triomphe de la Lumiere"
(the triumph of light, and intended
that it should represent light triumph
Ing over darkness, liberty over tyranny
and despotism. 1t was exhibited at an
exhibition in Antwerp, and attracted
much attention on account of the vigor
with which the artist had treated his
subject. Adolph Sutro saw the figure
there after having read much favorable
criticism of it in the press, and then
the idea struck him that it might be an
embellishments to the entire San Fran
cisco peninsula.

ming.
The girls have discovered the gum
board, and having seen at once what
marvel of comfort it is, have with
characteristic taste made it ornamental
as well as useful. They decorate the
sides of the frame, pin silk ribbons
upon the corners, hang it upon the
walls of their chambers, and in some
cases have even gone so far as to issue
orders for special gum boards to be
made, that in color and form shall har
monte with the furniture in their apart
ments. What is a gum-board?
Heretofore the discoverer of par
ticularly choice morsel of tutti-frutti,
or spruce, has been obliged, when oc-
casion demanded the REIMBURSEMENT of
the chew, to stick it upon the mantel-
piece or upon the window-frame; or,
when retiring, upon the bed-post. The
objections to this method of preserving
the morsel are apparent and we'll known
to all who have tried it. If placed
upon the bed-post or window-frame it
is liable, upon being taken off again to
resume the mastication, to carry some
flavor of paint with it during the first
few chews. This, of course, is disa-
greeable in itself, and most so because
it detracts from the sthetic enjoyment
of the gum. On the other hand, if the
gum is placed on the marble mantel it
is liable to take up with it, when re-
moved, some Of the dust that invaria-
bly, fingers upon any piece of furniture
in spite of the most careful attention Of
the housemaid.
Tie gum-board is designed to over
come all these disagreeable features of
the preservation of the chew. It is
made of highly polished slate, and is
surrounded by frame which makes
the board itself set in about an inch or
little more from the level of the
frame. Then there is a nice glass door
on hinges that shuts in upon the gum
board, thus protecting it from dust.
When the girl, then, has chewed suf-
ficiently long time on her gum, or is in
terrupte1 in the process of her aesthetic
enjoyment by callers. and is under the
necessity, therefore, of using her teeth
and tongue for conversational pur-
poses, she simply opens this glass door,
presses the morsel of gum upon the
polished slate, closes the door, and
leaves il, confident that, when she
wishes to return to her delectable
pleasure, the morsel can be taken up
entirely free from any heterogeneous
matter.

WHEN the late Duke of Portland
died most of his property went to his
sisters, one of whom was Lady Ossing-
ton. AS this lady was a widow, she
was assisted in the management of her
great inheritance by her brother-in-
law, the late A. Denison, and in return
for his services she made him con-
siderable present in money. This
money Mr.. Denison invested in a sump-
tuous watch. A very musical repeater
of the best workmanship was inclosed
in gold case literally studded with
jewels, and each jewel picked stone.
The watch chain had succession of
black pearls, and the signet was a
scarabeus. The worst OF this costly
within was that the owner scarcely
dared wear the watch for fear of being
robbed in the street, and could not
leave it at home for fear of burglary.

The suddenness with which light
ning-rods have fallen into disuse is a
rather curious fact. A few years since
every business-house and private resi-
dence was bristling with rods and
points, while the Gghtning-rod agent
was the most intolerable nuisance that
ever imposed upon the public. 1t was
formerly thought that the rod was a
genuine protection to houses, and for
years people labored under this de-
fusion. But the fact is that the rod
is not necessity, and is oftentimes a
source of positive danger. A residence
or business-house is just about as safe
in a storm without rod as with one !;
and the people Of this generation have
learned this fact.

"THE highest mountain in America"
must now be changed from Mount st.
Elias to Mount Wrangel, a little to the
north. Several of these mountains
have been newly measured. Mount
Hood, once roughly" estimated at H.
600, then closely at 10000, was brought
down by triangulation to $4,000; an
aneroid barometer made it $4,000, and
a mercurial barometer IL, 255. Mount
st. Elias, estimated by D'Agelet to be
1862 feet, is triangulated by Mr..
Baker to 1880. 1t now appears that
Mount Wrangel, lying to the north,
rises Is, 400 feet above Copper River,
which is in turn 1900 feet above the
sea at that point If this holds true,
Mount Wrangel is at least 1000 feet
higher than any other peak in North
America. 1t lies within the United
States boundary.

THE question OF making laces of iron
and steel for ladies and children's wear
is being discussed in art, mill and
fashion circles. At the Centennial in
1876 piece of steel rolled by Pitts
burgh mill was on exhibition which
was so thin and light that it weighed
much less than book leaf, and could
be blown from the hand easier than a
piece of paper of the same size. The
iron leaf was rolled on a train of rolls
upon which heavy tank and boiler iron
is now rolled. Experts say that cur
tains and other fine laces can be made
of soft malleable iron, and in every way
be used with greater satisfaction than
cotton laces. The sheets will neces-
sarily have to be rolled down to an ex-
ceedingly low gauge and then pressed
into any desirable pattern and shape.
